Line 2:
A 1998 [[Leslie Nielsen]] movie written and directed by ZAZ protege Pat Proft, ''[[Wrongfully Accused]]'' is a classic example of the joke-a-minute (more like every 20 seconds) school of comedy.
The frame parody is built around the 1993 version of ''[[The Fugitive (film)|The Fugitive]]'' and [[Leslie Nielsen]]'s character's pursuit of the one-armed, one-legged and one-eyed man who killed his lover's husband. Richard Crenna's delightful parody of [[Tommy Lee Jones]]' fast-talking federal marshal is probably the highlight of the movie, with many of the best lines. However, ''[[The Fugitive (film)|The Fugitive]]'' is hardly the only movie that gets parodied here. Particularly notable targets include the ''[[Mission: Impossible]]'', ''[[Titanic]]'', ''Lord of the Dance'', ''[[Braveheart]]'', Mentos commercials, ''[[Baywatch]]'', ''[[The Usual Suspects]]'' and even ''[[North by Northwest]]'' and ''[[Casablanca]]'', among many others.
